14th Amendment, Sec. 3 Congressional Debate, May 23, 1866: After about a week of discussions with colleagues, Sen. Jacob Howard (MI) offered the Sec. 3 language that was ultimately ratified. Howard's revision removed specific references to "the" rebellion and added an important qualifier: those who were to be excluded from government service would have to have violated prior oaths to defend the constitution by having "engaged in insurrection or rebellion against [it] or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof." "This is to go into our Constitution and to stand to govern future insurrection as well as the present; and I should like to have that point definitely understood," -- Sen. Peter Van Winkle (WV) Sen. Lot Morrill (ME) jumped in to clarify. "Let me call the Senator's attention to the words 'or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States,'" Morrill said, ending the discussion on that point.
